Gnomon - time to move on

Is the concert you are doing with Laoise next Friday the same one as you did in Nahi's last year?

Ah, I see you answered this elsewhere.

For the record:

Lamento di Tristan + La Rotta (anon 14th c.)
Angelus Ad Virginem (Hymn, 15th c., from Christ Church Cathedral Dublin)
Pange Lingua (Hymn, Dufay)
Ah Robin, Gentle Robin (Round, Cornysh)
Vestiva i Colli (Madrigal, Palestrina)
Pavan & Galliards (Dowland)
Go From My Window (Variations, Cranford, from Marsh's Library Dublin)
In Nomine (Weelkes)

[Interval; glass of smiley - redwine]

Canon-Fantasia (Byrd)
Browning (Variations by Bevin & Stoning)
Engels Nachtengaltje (Recorder solo, Van Eyck)
Bergamasca Anglica (Canzona, Scheidt)
Almains & Corantos (Holborne)

I've tried to keep to one example of most genres of 15th-17th century consort music, with just two hymns and three sets of variations, and three pairs of dances (galliards, almains and corantos). The Dowland pavan is "Sir Henry Umpton's Funerall", the sound track to the painting of that name.

It seems strange to class "Angelus ad Virginem" as a hymn, though that's what it is; it's such a chirpy thing, not unlike The Archers signature tune. It was of some antiquity even when this setting was made, being mentioned by Chaucer.
